The United States commenced hostilities against Afghanistan in the fall of 2001 to put a halt to atrocities like those described in the news video below.

The question is this: Why are these savages still in control of entire provinces of Afghanistan?

If, after eleven years, two thousand American lives, and untold billions of dollars, the mightiest and best-equipped military in the world can’t accomplish its assigned mission, why hasn’t it been pulled out?

The Taliban is a red herring - opium is the issue. The opium/heroin trade is worth billions - does anyone really believe that the two-faced crooks running the West would turn their noses up at the opportunity of getting a piece of the action? The mass cultivation of poppies could be eliminated in a good week - satellite images, jet fighters, agent orange. It's not being done because the powers that be don't want it done.
